Description

Old Faithful Geyser #9 Starting to descend Yellowstone,National Park-Wyoming

Old Faithful in Wyoming�s Yellowstone National Park is undoubtedly the world's most recognizable geyser and was aptly named by an 1870 expedition for its remarkable consistency. Unlike most thermal features in the park, its heights, intervals and length of eruption have changed very little in 100 years. It erupts about every 92 minutes, or 18�21 times every day.

Although Old Faithful is neither the largest, nor highest geyser in Yellowstone, it�s by far the most regular. The time-sensitive column of boiling water normally reaches an average height of 130 in just 15 to 20 seconds. After about 20 more seconds, the water column lowers rapidly. The eruption ends with a few puffs of steam for an always appreciative crowd of visitors from across the globe. On average, about 5,000 to 8,000 gallons of water are shot out of the ground. For a vantage point away from the ground-level benches and viewing areas, hike up to Observation Point and take in this behemoth from 250 feet above; the view gives an entirely new perspective of the utter uniqueness of geysers.
